This episode of True Crime Garage covers the murder of Dr. Teresa Sers, the investigation, and the arrests of Jimmy Rogers and Curtis Wayne Wright. Key discussions include the timeline of events leading to the murder, the suspects' backgrounds, and the evidence collected by law enforcement.

On June 28, 2015, Dr. Teresa Sers returned home to Florida after a trip without her husband and daughters. The following day, she was found murdered in her home. Sheriff Mike Scott stated that the murder was not random, and investigators processed numerous pieces of evidence.

Two months later, arrests were made for the murder. Jimmy Rogers and Curtis Wayne Wright were apprehended in Missouri. Wright was a close friend of Mark Sers, Teresa's husband, and had worked for the couple. The investigation revealed that both suspects had traveled to Florida shortly before the murder.

Evidence included surveillance footage from a Walmart where the suspects purchased items such as a hammer, trash bags, and a lockpick set. Testimony from Rogers's girlfriend suggested that he confessed to the murder and claimed it was orchestrated by Mark Sers.

The episode discusses the complexities of the case, including the relationships between the suspects and the victim, and the potential motives behind the murder. It raises questions about Mark Sers's involvement and the dynamics of the friendships involved.

TLDR

Dr. Teresa Sers was murdered in 2015; suspects Jimmy Rogers and Curtis Wayne Wright were arrested, with ties to her husband Mark Sers.

00:03:23
[Music] crime on June 28th 2015 Dr Teresa sers flew home from Connecticut to her home
00:03:33
in Florida without her husband Mark and their two daughters the following morning on June 29th she was found
00:03:40
brutally murdered bludgeon to death inside her home now on July 6th just a little over a week into the
00:03:49
investigation of the death of Teresa sers there is finally a little bit of good news at least for those in the area
00:03:57
of the siver's home this is when Sheriff Mike Scott told a local reporter quote I
00:04:04
am like you or anyone else I want a killer Behind Bars we are working tirelessly Scott said all hands are on
00:04:13
Deck here literally he went on to say it's a very complicated case there are details I wish I could share but I
00:04:21
cannot mhm I take a little bit of comfort knowing it's not random or arbitrary Scott said of the murder he
00:04:29
says his investigators have processed hundreds of pieces of evidence from inside the home and elsewhere including
00:04:37
from cell phone and computer records from the home and from the office he also said that he believes everything
00:04:45
that they have in this case and he States it's a lot gives him comfort in saying that this is not a random murder
00:04:52
this is not arbitrary there are connections that will continue to develop when asked about whether people
00:04:58
should be conc concerned about a killer still on the streets he said this the the good news with homicide is generally
00:05:07
speaking random murder is not the case generally speaking there are connections I think that's the case that will play
00:05:15
out here as well two months after the murders take place the arrest will be made yes these are some new suspects
00:05:23
that we've not even spoken about yet captain and this was taken from the Florida today
00:05:30
newspaper from August 27th 2015 the headline the Lee County Sheriff's Office announced an arrest in
00:05:37
the murder of a well-known Estero doctor during a press conference Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott said they apprehended
00:05:46
Jimmy Rogers for the killing of Dr Teresa sers who was found dead in her Bonita Springs home in late June mhm
00:05:55
details were not provided on the arrest or how investigators made the connection
00:05:59
between sers and Rogers Scott declined to take any questions the spokesman for the Sheriff's Office could not provide
00:06:08
an exact spelling of the arrest man's name the Sheriff's Office issued an arrest warrant for Rogers on a charge of
00:06:15
second deegree murder according to a federal arrest warrant Lee Detective Mike DS contacted a federal probation
00:06:24
agent Monday that Rogers was in the Walmart on Mile Cypress Parkway the day before the
00:06:32
murder which is a violation of Jimmy Rogers probation sers was killed nearly two months ago on June 29th Scott called
00:06:41
Sever's case very much an ongoing and active investigation and said the homicide is a most complicated set of
00:06:50
circumstances Scott said the FBI and the state attorney's office are involved in
00:06:56
the case now one thing that I there's several Shockers here in my opinion that are not included in the
00:07:04
Florida Today article that we just read first Jimmy Rogers is and was living in Jefferson County Missouri both at the
00:07:14
time of Teresa sver you know death when she was killed and months later when he is later arrested which is what
00:07:22
roughly uh 1100 miles or so away the other thing too that we've already brought up nobody
00:07:30
we've not spoke about this guy but that's because nobody knows who this guy is not Teresa's family not the people at
00:07:36
her office not the neighbors that were so concerned that a Madman was on the loose then later that day another
00:07:43
bombshell there's a second arrest is made and this is Curtis Wayne Wright was arrested he too in Jefferson County
00:07:51
Missouri but there's there's one big difference here with Curtis Wayne wri a lot of people know who Curtis Wayne
00:07:59
Wright is right yeah but the the weird thing is when they show his picture like you know you're reading an article
00:08:06
normally and there's some picture that goes with the article yeah like most people stop reading the article because
00:08:12
this guy looks exactly exactly like Mark sers yeah so to describe Mark sers for you would be the
00:08:23
same way of describing Curtis way right he's they're they're men who shave their
00:08:28
heads have glasses and it appears to be damn near identical glasses uh prescription glasses that they wear and
00:08:36
they both have goatees mhm and they have a similar build too yeah I've heard people say that they they they look like
00:08:44
twins but the the crazy thing to me is and we should Curtis Wayne Wright he goes by Wayne so just to you know smooth
00:08:51
it out a little bit we'll call him Wayne Wright from this point on so we have Jimmy and Wayne Jimmy Rogers and Wayne
00:08:57
Wright yes and they're both arrested in Missouri correct nobody 1100 mil away the difference between Jimmy and Wayne
00:09:08
is that Wayne is best friends with Mark sers yes he's he's not only best friends
00:09:15
with Mark sers he also works for uh Loosely works for Teresa and Mark sers as well he's a computer it guy he went
00:09:24
to college for a computer and he he was the guy that said up the computers at the Dr T's office mhm and he would he
00:09:34
monitored them he would um I love when we talk about computers because I just I don't have any words no words come out
00:09:42
right but it it's because you know the subject so well that it's hard for you to explain it to the Layman to us you
00:09:49
know m to the lay person yes Mortals but yeah if the computer system went down he
00:09:54
would fix it he he made sure that the computers kept up and running at the doctor's office
00:10:00
okay the two are also uh not just best friends but they've been best friends since almost their childhood right you
00:10:08
know so even Mark siver's family is where well aware of Wayne Wright now what's the connection how do you connect
00:10:16
these two guys from Missouri to the death of Teresa sers well we have them both on camera at a Walmart that's less
00:10:24
than 6 miles away mhm the day before or the day of it would well would have been the Sunday
00:10:32
it would be yeah on Sunday the 28th now so in building the case and I'm a little
00:10:38
unclear as to how exactly the police got to Jimmy Rogers and Wayne wri one thing
00:10:43
I found but I could not verify this to be 100% accurate so take this for what you will it it sounds to me like these
00:10:51
two jokers well they talked a lot they talked a lot about going to Florida beforehand M and and they talked about
00:11:00
having been to Florida when they got back one of the two I believe it was Rogers even texted someone or had a
00:11:08
phone call with someone while he was in Florida someone from his work had contacted him asking if he could come in
00:11:15
to work but he says he can't because he's still in Florida mhm now mind you this is at a time that that would have
00:11:23
put the two in the State of Florida like the captain said when Teresa sers was killed roughly so I've seen it suggested
00:11:30
maybe even reported uh I I have it in my notes but again I cannot confirm the crazy thing about this case
00:11:37
Captain there you know there is a lot out there and I know you thought thought this too there's a lot of information on
00:11:44
this case out there there's a lot of good information too uh so there was not a whole lot of time spent hunting for
00:11:51
info on this case there was just so much reading and uh so much to consume and think about mhm because you you know I
00:11:59
the thing is I want to remind you of what the lead detective on this case said and I think he is exactly right
00:12:07
when he described this case as a most complicated set of circumstances because it truly
00:12:14
is right but this part of the case isn't that complicated we have two individuals
00:12:20
that traveled over 1100 miles we have them within a 10mi radius of the murder taking place we now have one of the vict
00:12:29
or one of the suspects Wayne has a direct connection with the murdered victim MH worked for her was best
00:12:37
friends with her husband and we have uh probably evidence at the scene uh fingerprints and things of that nature
00:12:46
we also have a list of what they bought at the Walmart we have phone records we have text records that they were in
00:12:52
Florida we have Jimmy talking with his girlfriend at the time about being in Florida
00:12:59
and we also have the murder weapon that was right by the victim well okay so let's get into this a little bit I and
00:13:05
I'm trying to piece together how they got to these two individuals I think that it's possible that they may have
00:13:12
been contacted by somebody that knew one of them either Jimmy Rogers or Wayne Wright as I stated they were telling
00:13:19
people that they were going to Florida they were telling people that they had just been to Florida right so by now we
00:13:27
have both of these douche news in jail both have had their trailer homes raided at this point the police even got
00:13:33
information from Jimmy Rogers girlfriend that's right one of the suspects his his
00:13:38
girlfriend confesses to deputies that she knows exactly what happened this is Taylor Shoemaker rogers's girlfriend
00:13:45
tells detectives about his trip to Florida Taylor is going to relay a story to the police but we have to keep in
00:13:54
mind here that she has already been questioned by police before she gets in into this this questioning room here she
00:14:01
was questioned by police this was in front of Jimmy Rogers so later the two of them Jimmy Rogers and Taylor
00:14:09
Shoemaker are having a conversation she's going to relay this conversation to police she said during this
00:14:16
conversation she said quote he referring to Rogers started asking me like what do
00:14:23
I know about it I'm like well I know you went down there to kill somebody and then he said yeah she goes on stating I
00:14:32
asked him what he went down there for and he said to make money and then I asked him how does he make money he said
00:14:40
murdering Mark's wife then Shoemaker recounts how Rogers then laughed when explaining how he had killed Teresa
00:14:49
Taylor told the police quote I said did you shoot her and he said no and I said then how did you kill her then he made
00:14:57
this stupid little chuckle that he does and then he said with a hammer she also told detectives that Teresa's own
00:15:04
husband Mark sers hired Wayne Wright to kill his wife she says suspect Curtis Wayne Wright then hired Jimmy to help
00:15:15
out to help out without Mark's knowledge Taylor told police the hammer well that was his weapon of
00:15:24
choice because quote everybody calls him Jimmy the hammer all of his friends back
00:15:29
home yeah but nobody calls him the hammer he calls himself the hammer like on his Facebook or his mypace or
00:15:37
something he was Jimmy the hammer Rogers right okay but he he made it up himself
00:15:44
and and it was like one of those names it would be like your you know your friend coming hanging out in the garage
00:15:48
saying hey call me the hammer and everybody else is like yeah we're not doing that we're not doing that [ __ ] but
00:15:55
yeah and then he then Jimmy goes on to say that I believe that Wayne tried to hit uh Teresa
00:16:03
first and then he end up taking the hammer from um Wayne and and doing it himself yeah so Taylor Shoemaker she
00:16:14
says that when the police were questioning her and and Rogers together that that's when she knew something bad
00:16:22
had happened when he went to Florida but she also like threw out some items some
00:16:27
gloves and like a shirt from their truck yeah and that actually happened after the police spoke with the two of them
00:16:35
now when they spoke with the two of them it was a very loose kind of casual interaction it wasn't like they brought
00:16:41
them in for questioning and separated them and did all that jazz no this was just they went to a place where they
00:16:47
both were it could have been one of their homes or their home that they were sharing I don't know but they they just
00:16:52
kind of sat down asked where you were what were you doing these things here here's how how I handle that questioning
00:17:00
right interrogation right you be you be Jimmy okay okay I go Jimmy Rogers yes sir can I call you the hammer
00:17:12
that's what everybody calls me and then I just call my hammer the whole time that's how that would work what happens
00:17:18
is after they get this kind of casual interaction with the police that's when Jimmy Rogers gets in the car with his
00:17:26
girlfriend and says you know they drive out into the country and I think it was near either his parent his mother's home
00:17:34
or her mother's home I'm a bit uncertain of this but they're driving out some peaches they're driving out on uh some
00:17:40
country road and he's instructing her to throw some items out of the the vehicle
00:17:46
right these end up being clothing items which she does later lead the police to these items and and they're all
00:17:52
recovered exactly where she said they would be recovered from yeah and so it's kind of weird cuz you when you watch the
00:18:01
not the interrogation but the questioning with her you do feel bad for her cuz sometimes the police are like
00:18:06
well why did you do that she's like well I'm I'm riding in a truck with somebody
00:18:12
that I think just murdered somebody he didn't even know with a hammer she was afraid of him very obviously afraid of
00:18:18
him and um she probably was you know it's to me when when I hear her speak and I read her words mhm it's
00:18:28
like when when the police showed up to ask some questions kind of randomly this would have been out of the blue to her
00:18:35
you know what I mean this would not be something she was expecting it was like a light went off for her during that
00:18:41
kind of questioning like holy crap this guy has done something right but mind you he broke his probation going to
00:18:48
Florida anyways so we know that he was convicted of something before he was in jail that's how Jimmy and Wayne met each
00:18:58
other MH was in jail so when she's dating him you know she probably was trying to give him the benefit of doubt
00:19:06
he was went to prison maybe he's changed you know everybody in there is innocent
00:19:10
right well right but what I'm saying is no I'm sure there's a couple that are like I did it
00:19:16
whatever uh Joseph methany yeah yeah I did it and I did a lot of other stuff I cook them cooked them up and put them in
00:19:25
hamburgers my point is that she's dating this guy she's probably trying to give him the benefit of the doubt that he you
00:19:32
know made some mistakes and now he's trying to change his life but once this starts coming out you're going well he
00:19:38
he didn't change his life and now you'd be scared you know what and here's this is a little off the subject here Captain
00:19:46
but one thing that I I cannot stand and I know he's he's a bad dude so it's easy
00:19:52
not to like him Jimmy Rogers dick no but I cannot stand people that give themselves their own
00:19:59
nickname look what thanks a lot I did it for I did I did it to protect my ref I forgot I was speaking with a person like
00:20:09
I was trying to teach kids you gave yourself an alias that's different you gave yourself an alias let me tell you
00:20:14
about this this one guy I used to work with the first time I worked with him the first day he goes um You can call me
00:20:20
cricket and I said okay he tells informs me everybody calls him cricket and I said okay well what's the significance
00:20:27
how did you get that nickname name he says back when I was in high school there was a kid used to sit next
00:20:34
to me in class and all the kids called him cricket and I really liked that so I gave myself that nickname right after I
00:20:42
graduated high school very awesome very creative let me tell you here's one thing I think we should do Captain
00:20:49
because we're able to piece together a very good uh timeline regarding what we can what we know happen because this is
00:20:57
what the police Le can later prove happen during this whole circumstances and I think the waters might be a little
00:21:04
murky at this point so I think we should go through this clear-cut timeline to lay out what happened because there's
00:21:10
other suspicions involved here we have this Taylor Shoemaker stating that Jimmy was hired by Wayne who was hired by Mark
00:21:20
sers right well Wayne and Jimmy are arrested Mark sers is not arrested he's still living at his home with his ERS in
00:21:28
in some fashion still running the the doctor's office right but mind you this is pure
00:21:35
speculation because this is just what Jimmy told her and we we don't know but what we do have is we have Jimmy and
00:21:43
Wayne now in the custody of law enforcement so it it took a lot to get here but what really happened what can
00:21:51
the police tell us that happened and what are they going to try to prove so this is a pretty comprehensive ensive
00:21:58
timeline so if you're lost this will fill you in so if you don't pay any attention to anything else we say pay
00:22:04
attention here right so in December of 2010 Curtis Wayne wri was arrested from the discovery of meth methampetamine lab
00:22:15
he serves time and is later released while serving time he meets this guy named Jimmy Rogers Rogers was a petty
00:22:24
criminal for most of his life but before you know for being arrested for a weapons charge which was a much more
00:22:31
serious charge in September of 2014 Jimmy roggers is released from federal prison in May of
00:22:42
2015 Curtis Wayne Wright marries he gets married and at the and the wedding takes place in Missouri now
00:22:51
this is important not only because it's shocking that anyone would marry Wayne Wright but some have speculated that
00:22:57
this is is where some of the planning for the eventual murder might have happened because at Wayne Wright's
00:23:04
wedding Mark sers he was he the best man at this wedding Captain he was he was in
00:23:10
the the Grooms you know he at least a groomsman so Mark's there he's at Wayne's wedding but so is Jimmy Jimmy
00:23:19
Rogers is a guest at this wedding the hammer now it's uncertain it's not clear if the two actually met or interacted
00:23:26
during this time but it puts all three of these these guys in the same place at the same time mhm and it's my
00:23:32
understanding that Teresa sers Mark's wife was not present at this wedding right then that takes us to June 26 this
00:23:41
is just two days before the attack June 26 2015 Jimmy Rogers worked from 900 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. that day and then he
00:23:50
was scheduled to be off until June 30th so a short time after leaving work which he was telling everybody at work
00:24:00
he was going down to help his cousin with something in Florida it's weird because he he had told multiple
00:24:08
different stories uh about why he was going to Florida and it's almost like he's bragging about this trip you you'd
00:24:15
mentioned the thing about the cousin he also said something about um uh he was going down there to work a job that was
00:24:23
going to pay him quite a bit of money then there's this thing about visiting somebody and it was an all expenses paid
00:24:29
trip so yeah he he had a few things that he threw out there to people yeah Captain dick knows yeah so sometime
00:24:37
after leaving work on that day on the 26th he meets up with Wayne Wright and the two of them depart for oh here's
00:24:46
another story they ran a car right but they depart for what he told Jimmy Rogers told his girlfriend would be a
00:24:54
$10,000 weekend job he doesn't tell tell her what the job is so as you stated Wayne Wright rented a vehicle in his
00:25:03
hometown the vehicle was complete with a GPS system now police were later able to
00:25:10
determine that the vehicle rented by Wayne Wright on the weekend Teresa sers was killed that somebody had typed
00:25:17
Teresa sers address into uh into that GPS system routing out a map to her murder ha got him got him yeah so if
00:25:29
that's not enough evidence so then they get down to Florida mhm and they get down there on a Sunday and I believe
00:25:37
they arrive at their destination the siver's house mhm and then guess what they type into their
00:25:44
GPS some coordinates to the local Walmart well I I there's some stuff I want to get into before we go go to that
00:25:53

Rogers renting a vehicle and then according to the GPS making their way to Florida just two days before Teresa sers
00:28:36
was killed now this is the thing I wanted to bring up Captain was this and this is where I think things can get a
00:28:43
little scary or at least weird for reasons that we will explain later but on the on the morning of Sunday June
00:28:51
28th M the Sever's home security system their home alarm system is Dea activated
00:28:58
at 609 a.m. okay now the reason why this is strange is because Bonnie sers Mark siver's mother she's not coming over to
00:29:09
the house until after 8:00 to take care of the dogs right so we could assume this is Wayne and Jimmy deactivating the
00:29:18
alarm yeah they they go to the Sever's home they have no trouble getting into the home and then they deactivate the
00:29:26
alarm right but now Wayne is their it guy for computers and phones and stuff like that he might be their it guy for
00:29:34
their alarm system as well he might know the code he could have set up the alarm
00:29:38
system he could have even installed the uh garage door opener that you punch the
00:29:42
code into to open up the garage possible this would put him in give him access to
00:29:47
the home without even having a key to the front door so after the siver's home alarm system is deactivated at 6:09 a.m.
00:29:56
on June 28th then later we have Wayne Wright and Jimmy Rogers they're spotted at a Walmart on 6m Cypress Parkway in
00:30:06
Fort Meyers Florida this is roughly about 20 miles from from Teresa siver's home yeah they they are actually on
00:30:14
video footage yeah you see them standing together mhm and while they're there they're going to pick up some items and
00:30:21
one of those items is going to be a Hammer Hammer rubber boots they also purchased some trash bags and a lock pit
00:30:30
uh Lockpick Set MH basically a murder kit yeah they they did purchase some other items while they were there but
00:30:36
those are the ones that stand out well at approximately 8:10 a.m. that morning the sers home security alarm system is
00:30:45
now reactivated now during the day Mark sers speaks to his mother telling her to
00:30:55
telling her to leave the home alone alarm system off because remember she tells Mark when they have their
00:31:00
conversation look I'm having some trouble with the alarm system right and that's because it was already because it
00:31:07
was already shut off by Wayne and Jimmy yeah so you know most of these alarm systems you either you type in the code
00:31:13
and you hit press one to turn it on or two to turn it off well let's just assume that um Mark's mother didn't go
00:31:21
to school for computer so she's going up to alarm system right if alarm system is
00:31:27
on I put in my code right and then it goes alarm off but if the alarm is off and I go up to
00:31:35
it and go let me put in my code doesn't do anything so when it didn't do anything she probably thought
00:31:43
what the hell am I doing wrong or there's a chance that she turned it on but here's what I here's what I think
00:31:48
happened because the words that the police use are deactivated and reactivated okay so she turned it back
00:31:55
on by putting in the code yeah so what would have happened in that circumstance Captain is that when she left the day
00:32:01
before after leaving the house she turned on the alarm then somebody showed up unbeknownst to her at the home and
00:32:08
deactivated the alarm before she returned Jimmy and Wayne yeah so when she returns to the house she thinks
00:32:14
she's turning off the alarm when in fact she's turning it back on MH and so therefore probably uh when when she
00:32:22
would go to leave you know there there's she's said they've h jacked the the system that's supposed to be running
00:32:30
it's supposed to be on when she returns however it's not so I didn't do a great job of explaining that but I think you
00:32:36
get what we're going with that so his he tells his mom look if you're having trouble with the alarm don't bother with
00:32:43
it because after you let the dogs out later today my wife Teresa she's coming home
00:32:49
that night so it's not like the house is not going to be monitored for very long
00:32:53
before she returns right plus there's two people sent to murder her well in this at 4:13 p.m. on that Sunday Bonnie
00:33:02
sers leaves the home the sers home for the final time and as instructed she does not turn on the alarm sometime
00:33:10
after Bonnie leaves Wayne Wright and Jimmy Rogers return to the siver's residence they lay and wait there for
00:33:19
Teresa to return at 10 p.m. Dr Teresa sers her plane touches down and South Southwest Florida International she then
00:33:29
calls Mark her husband to tell her him that she arrived safely at 10:55 p.m. Dr sver sers leaves the airport driving the
00:33:39
family's blue van and goes directly to her house then she arrives at home alone it
00:33:47
was at 9:00 a.m. the following day that her office opens she's late they call Mark sers who then in in call calls the
00:33:57
neighbor to go check on the house mhm and we all know what happens from there mhm now later that same day Dr siver's
00:34:08
family Mark and the two girls they arrive back to Florida from Connecticut it's the following day on
00:34:16
June 30th that Jimmy Rogers is back in Missouri and he shares with his employer that he just made a 16-hour trip by
00:34:25
Highway to visit his recent law school graduate brother in Florida M for an all expenses trip uh paid by his brother to
00:34:35
visit him on that same day on the 30th is when that sign goes up on the doctor's office
00:34:41
informing all the patients that Dr s sers has passed away her funeral was held on July 6th and it was on the 12th
00:34:51
of July that a SWAT team raids Wayne Wright's trailer in Missouri on August 24th the Lee County Sheriff's
00:35:01
Office they contacted Jimmy Rogers probation officer this is when they reported that they knew that Rogers had
00:35:08
been in Florida MH a neighbor well actually several neighbors told uh newspapers that they had seen uh Jimmy
00:35:18
Rogers trailer being raided by police he's later arrested for violation of the probation itself but it wasn't
00:35:26
until the following day on the 27th when Jimmy Ray Rogers and Curtis wri are charged
00:35:33
with murder with the murder of do Teresa sers now the strange thing here Captain
00:35:40
is it wasn't until 6 months later when in late February of 2016 that Mark severs is finally arrested at his home
00:35:51
in Bonita Springs Florida right and I I think the thing is you you have to have some kind of connection and when you
00:35:59
have Mark sers like we said earlier in part one that you know he turned over his phone he turned over his uh computer
00:36:10
he also has this airtight Alibi multiple people he's 1300 miles away you know so the only thing here is
00:36:20
that he didn't murder his wife right but did he based off of what Jimmy Rogers is
00:36:26
saying did he set it up where he was going to pay Wayne and then the other question
00:36:32
here is one of the things that has said about Wayne and Mark's relationship was that Wayne really looked up to Mark and
00:36:41
that almost mimicked him when Mark shaved his head because he was going bald Wayne did the same thing right and
00:36:49
a lot of their friends in high school said these guys were super close but back in the day they didn't look like
00:36:57
wins almost like one person is um mimicking the other and you got one guy living in this trailer and another guy
00:37:06
married to a successful woman running a successful practice where they're paying
00:37:11
you to do it work and phone work you know so your friend is married to has a lot of money lives in a big nice house
00:37:21
you start wondering is Mark involved in some way or is this some plan that Wayne
00:37:28
came up with all on his own well we should also throw out there too that that they have the appearance that they
00:37:34
have a lot of money it actually looks like once you get beneath the surface that they they probably didn't have a
00:37:41
lot of money that the finances were being mishandled somehow well yeah they were making a lot of money they were
00:37:47
spending a lot of money I mean I tell the story all the time I used to have this this stupid ass dick face I mean I
00:37:56
mean he was just the worst human in the world I think he drove like a Porsche or
00:38:00
something the guy would come in all smug and he like it's like he sprayed his colog 10 times too many mhm you know and
00:38:08
so I remember one time he puts eight grand into the bank so he put the eight grand at the
00:38:14
bank but he was like negative seven Grand right right so he comes in the next day and then there's
00:38:22
more fees so he he puts in eight grand or whatever he now down to like $200 mhm he's like um give me a, And1 100 so I go
00:38:33
well you only got hundred something dollar left you know so my point is you know and then of course he was pissed
00:38:39
he's like dude I gave you $88,000 yesterday I was like yeah but you're in the negative you owed us that much right
00:38:45
so but my point is they were making a lot of money yeah she was a very successful doctor the problem there was
00:38:52
they were spending more money than they made and so so but still it's that lifestyle you still have nice cars you
00:39:01
still have a nice house this is something uh and also we have an open relationship and possible swinging
00:39:08
happen happening is it possible that you know he comes there he drives 1300 miles
00:39:16
he's hanging out with him one night he's drinking with them that he ends up having sex with her at some point is
00:39:23
that possible possibly yeah and so if that happens is there some kind of jealousy thing on well we should be
00:39:31
clear about what you're kind you're kind of doing a balancing act on offense here
00:39:35
and I think we should be clear about what you're getting to because it the reason why Mark sers is arrested is
00:39:42
because Wayne Wright his best friend that happens to look exactly like him he he tells the police look Mark sers paid
00:39:51
me to kill his wife Mark sers orchestrated this whole thing or was going to pay me right right and so that
00:39:59
they didn't arrest Mark sers until 6 months later because they really had nothing on him until one of these guys
00:40:05
flipped on him now they right but what and it we need to be clear it took Wayne six months to flip on him yeah because
00:40:14
he was going to face the death penalty right uh and Florida is pretty good at at killing people so he probably got
00:40:21
scared now okay so up until this point we have Shoemaker Jimmy rogers's girlfriend mhm that she
00:40:30
can tell police all day and all night that you know what Mark sers hired Wayne and then Wayne hired Jimmy and this is
00:40:37
how this whole thing went down the problem is they don't have any evidence to that now when you have a guy that's
00:40:43
facing murder charges and the guy comes forward and he says you know what instead of putting me on the death
00:40:50
giving me the death penalty let's reduce this thing down to second degree murder
00:40:54
I'll plead guilty I'll plead guil guilty mm you give me 25 years and I'm going to
00:41:00
testify for you against Mark sers then boom you go arrest Mark sers now here's the big debate though the the the the
00:41:09
balancing act that the captain was doing here is this doesn't necessarily mean that
00:41:14
Mark sers is absolutely 100% guilty there's still some things that you have to analyze in this because you have and
00:41:21
and here's the thing when I went into this Captain I went into this looking at it like this Mark sers guy he's guilty
00:41:27
as can be there's no changing my opinion now where my opinion did change was and
00:41:34
yes you could say that the people that I listened to were biased however the people that changed my opinion were
00:41:40
listening to his family this Mark Sever's family his mother his his sister and then listening to some of his
00:41:47
friends that were not associated with Wayne Wright these people paint a much brighter better picture of
00:41:56
markers and these people this is what they're wondering they're not saying they're not saying 100% are markers that
00:42:04
we know and love is innocent what they're saying is this think about this idea that possibly
00:42:11
Wayne rright did this without Mark siver's knowledge and then once he's caught once he's busted the only
00:42:19
Lifeline he has left to throw out to save his own ass is to throw mark sers under the bus and be willing to testify
00:42:27
against him in court right but okay so what's the evidence against Mark let's get into that yes so the evidence
00:42:35
against Mark well this you can take this or leave this as far as you want to go for evidence but there were there was
00:42:41
four over four million dollars worth of life insurance uh planned to pay out upon Teresa siver's death yeah this is
00:42:50
where it's interesting though it's four point some million .4 million but there was like five policies there's a lot of
00:42:57
policies yes which is odd so yeah I would think so and and also when you're when you're behind on bills and you're
00:43:07
constantly living paycheck to paycheck kind of a weird thing to pay out to have those five and we know that Mark is kind
00:43:16
of running that area you know she is running the practice but he's running probably payroll he's probably running
00:43:23
their finances he's kind of taking care of the kids why she's at work and there's been speculation captain and I
00:43:29
don't know if this is coming from the media or from the law enforcement but there's been speculation that Teresa
00:43:36
sever may not have been aware of some of these policies right that maybe he took
00:43:42
them out without her knowledge or forged documents here's the thing I don't typically think life insurance is a red
00:43:51
flag that's usually not a red flag to me I understand that it is motive at times
00:43:57
but what I mean by that is if somebody has a policy for 80,000 or $100,000 I kind of look past that as as a red flag
00:44:05
when I see policies that are for these large sums of money four millions $4.5 millionar and I understand when you have
00:44:13
a nice home and when you have children together that you should increas running a practice you should increase and carry
00:44:19
larger amounts of insurance but this seems like an extreme amount of insurance this seems like a warranted r
00:44:26
flag to me yeah and what else do we have against Mark well really we only have the words of of these these other people
00:44:36
that we know to be involved by their own admission uh into the murder of his wife
00:44:42
now Jimmy roggers to be clear has not told the police he's not said hey I'm guilty and I'm willing to cooperate
00:44:47
right but we have his girlfriend that's fed them plenty of information that makes him look very guilty the other
00:44:53
thing though is there are some here's what I wonder that's going to come out in in in trial there's been a
00:45:01
lot of communication between Wayne Wright and Mark sers and what I mean by that there's been more texting and
00:45:08
communication between the two of them than even Mark and his own wife Teresa MH now just having a longdistance
00:45:16
friendship could explain that way yeah but there's some weird stuff going on and him being involved in the business
00:45:21
could explain this way but there is some weird interactions uh you came across some things where
00:45:28
it's where Mark is calling referring to him as honey or baby when when talking to Wayne yeah um that's weird which we
00:45:36
you know he we don't know they could be joking around I don't know those were found from text messages that were
00:45:43
released to the public however they redacted a lot of the information within those text message so there's there's a
00:45:49
lot of missing portions of those conversations there's one thing that's incredibly interesting though and that
00:45:55
that's that Wayne Wright would say that a lot of the communication they did a lot of the organizing and planning of
00:46:02
this murder was done over a burner phone mhm that they both had phones untraceable phones right so this would
00:46:10
be like a prepaid phone that you'd buy somewhere right yep and what what is stated during some of those text
00:46:18
messages on their regular phones on their day-to-day phones right is you have situations where Mark sers is
00:46:24
talking to Wayne Wright and he's saying hey can you talk in 10 minutes or hey do
00:46:28
you got 15 minutes to talk and then he would use the word other in parentheses now police and police using
00:46:37
information given to them by Wayne Wright states that when they say other Mark is saying let's talk on these other
00:46:44
phones not have this conversation on our day-to-day our everyday phones and that's probably not even a text message
00:46:50
that's probably like an actual just pick up and call um so that's that is interesting so we have those two
00:47:00
pieces here's some strange things that I think about though Captain okay so I don't want to hear about the strange
00:47:06
things you think about well in relation to this case let's narrow it down a little bit let's let's focus on this
00:47:12
case so all right there's there's a couple issues here one we know Mark would have
00:47:19
had information that his wife would be returning from the vacation before and without the rest of the family he could
00:47:26
have passed that information along to Wayne that's an easy scenario we can all wrap our heads around the other scenario
00:47:33
is this if Mark is if I'm sorry if Wayne oversees their computers even just at their office even if it's not at their
00:47:42
home just their office let's say if office computers were used to purchase those plane tickets mhm then Wayne would
00:47:50
also know that information without Mark having told him that information if is done through a email or like you get
00:47:59
confirmations you know if you bought plane tickets you get the confirmation through your email so so that's possible
00:48:05
but here here's the other thing though too is and it's not saying that Wayne wouldn't know this information but
00:48:12
obviously it was the family is planning a trip and then she's going to come back
00:48:17
early mhm and so what a perfect time to do this right now what's weird is it's a
00:48:25
perfect time it's a perfect time for Wayne to do it it's a perfect time for Mark to tell Wayne to do it mhm Jimmy
00:48:35
and Wayne both were talking about this trip months in advance right mhm so to me that's a little more evidence leaning
00:48:45
to the fact that Mark is paying them because he would have known about the trip way more in advance you see what
00:48:53
I'm saying unless the tickets were purchased way in advance Advance right but then that would
00:48:58
be Wayne for whatever reason wants to kill her which we don't know what the motive would be mhm and he is planning
00:49:07
this months and months in advance because he hears about a trip mhm you see what I'm saying like if he wanted
00:49:14
her dead that bad for whatever reason like you I don't know I just think it's kind of weird okay let me throw this at
00:49:23
you because I I've been I've been going back and forth on this quite a bit because my thought is I I want to try to
00:49:29
hear out Mark s's family and I want to try to understand what they're saying now they've not presented these ideas to
00:49:36
anybody as far as I'm aware but what I could come up with was this the only problem I have with Mark
00:49:44
sers being involved in this is his mother Bonnie sers that throws that throws a wrench into the plan a little
00:49:53
bit you have Bonnie sers coming and going at times that she determines to let these dogs out and to
00:50:00
check on the house now Wayne Wright and Jimmy Rogers we know this because the the alarm system
00:50:08
was deactivated at 6:00 in the morning Teresa cers didn't arrive at home until 11:00 p.m. or 11:30 p.m. MH so they were
00:50:17
there for for like what 16 18 hours before Teresa returns to the home and I know they spent a lot of that time out
00:50:25
side of the home they went to Walmart and they went to the beach and they killed time waiting for Teresa to return
00:50:31
at 11 11:30 at night the wrench in the problem is they were they there's a chance that they were within a 60-minute
00:50:40
window of bumping into Bonnie sers yeah but they would have known they would have
00:50:45
known this stuff again this points towards Mark too they would have known her actions and whereabouts based off a
00:50:53
mark they wouldn't know that if Mark's not involved so they wouldn't have known when they could have got into the house
00:51:01
and when they couldn't have got into the house that she came once in the morning
00:51:04
and once at night and isn't it just so weirdly that uh that they're there the whole time that she's there
00:51:11
twice right right or maybe she's only there once on that Sunday but she never runs into them and then the murder
00:51:19
doesn't take place until probably after mid midnight right so no but what I'm what I'm saying
00:51:28
though is that that's a loose end for Mark sers if Mark knows Mark knows everything let's assume he knows
00:51:33
everything that's going on that he orchestrated this whole thing the loose end is his mother checking on the dogs
00:51:39
she you can tell your mother show up at 8:00 a.m. and let them out and then come
00:51:43
back at 400 p.m. and let them out once you leave for Connecticut you have no control over what time that woman
00:51:48
decides to show up to let the dogs in and out of the house right well all I'm saying is it's pretty easy if she was
00:51:54
only supposed to to go there once on Sunday it's this simple you text her in the morning hey what time do you think
00:52:00
you're going to go over there right M or hey we know or you're talking to her while you're on vacation and she's like
00:52:07
uh you know maybe you know your mom's a creature of habit if she says she's going over there at 8:00 it's going to
00:52:12
be between 800 and 9 no matter what M all I'm saying is it's a very small wrinkle to deal with and well it may not
00:52:21
even be a wrinkle to deal with and here's what I mean by this I think it's a big loose end I think it's a big
00:52:27
problem because if for some reason you you're sending people that you have paid to kill a woman so by by them signing up
00:52:38
for the job they're stating they're very capable of killing somebody in Cold Blood right how do you know they're not
00:52:44
going to freak out if they bump into your mother at the house and kill her okay so that is listen listen listen
00:52:52
that's not that big of a deal cuz they're best friends guess who would know who his mom is Wayne would know who
00:52:58
Mark's mom is she comes into the house he wouldn't go oh my God I thought it was Teresa right mhm that's what I'm
00:53:06
saying he would know and then if if Wayne was in the house and he bumped into Mark's
00:53:12
mom hey what are you doing here you don't have to kill her you just have to say I'm working on the security system
00:53:19
no I get that I get that but that's out of Mark's hands once he leaves for Connecticut all that stuff's out of his
00:53:26
hands he can't control his mother's movements coming and going from the home he can't control Wayne and Jimmy's
00:53:32
movements coming and going from the home now it's it's also reported though that
00:53:37
Wayne is a very intelligent man and so maybe Mark had a little more faith in him that hey if I'm paying him to kill
00:53:46
the wife he's going to kill the wife and that's it I I don't think it's that big
00:53:51
of a deal I disagree I disagree all right so whether or not that is actual deal or
00:53:59
not the thing that you can't it's I'm having a hard time explaining is the text messages where it says other talk
00:54:07
on other mhm to me that is fishy and if Mark can't explain that away the the thing here is you either have two very
00:54:16
dumb guys committing this murder or you have three dumb guys one who hired two dumb guys to carry out the murder
00:54:24
because they made as as far away as they came from Wayne Wright and Jimmy Rogers
00:54:31
made it very easy for the police to catch them there should have been very little to connect these two to to Bonita
00:54:38
Springs Florida right I mean you don't put it into GPS you don't put it into GPS you don't rent a vehicle in your
00:54:45
name you figure out how to get there without doing things like that mhm you don't go to a Walmart so you can be seen
00:54:52
on video footage yeah but here's the big thing that that even even a disorganized
00:54:58
mentally ill killer has avoided in the past MH when you beat somebody to death with a hammer don't leave that hammer at
00:55:09
the crime scene M that presents a very big because remember earlier you know you know there's some psychopath right
00:55:16
now in their basement listening to us writing down don't leave Hammer well okay so earlier when we
00:55:23
talked about how did the police track these guys down we know look they didn't arrest them until till late August they
00:55:31
were already on these dudes you can tell by Sheriff Scott's words when he's talking to the reporter they were
00:55:38
already into this story into this story somehow back 10 days after the murder when he says you know what this was not
00:55:45
a random thing MH we I'm very confident when I say that there are connections to
00:55:50
the victim from the murderer in this case I'm very confident when I state that and I wonder if it was something as
00:55:56
simple as this did they trace that hammer we know they found the hammer mhm how hard is it to go you know what who
00:56:04
distributes this Hammer who do they distribute it to okay I understand that there's like a million thousand Walmart
00:56:10
stores and maybe every single one of them carries this particular make and model of hammer I get that there's a lot
00:56:16
of them out there that it could be a very common Hammer however there's a chance that when they go how hard is it
00:56:22
to go look this thing this Hammer is distributed to Walmarts uh we got five or six of them that are within a 30 mile
00:56:29
radius of the crime scene oh there was one purchased at this Walmart on this day at this particular time it was a
00:56:38
cash purchase they bought everything that they bought that day with a $100 bill now there would still be record of
00:56:45
that sale they could go you go to all those Walmarts and you say okay I need to see surveillance of who bought this
00:56:53
there's a chance you even pick up the person's license plate in one of the surveillance cameras in the parking lot
00:56:59
well and the I wouldn't they probably wouldn't know who they're looking for no they wouldn't but you if you can if you
00:57:05
can get a a picture of the guy or persons standing at the register at the time that the hammer was paid for mhm
00:57:14
well I think what probably tipped them off is you know like we said Wayne looks just like Mark so you know what Mark
00:57:20
looks like so all of a sudden if let's say you go to that Walmart and you're look through video footage and all of a
00:57:26
sudden you see a guy the day uh you know the day before the murder takes or before they found the body you see a guy
00:57:33
buying a hammer that looks just like the lady's husband mhm then you go oh [ __ ]
00:57:38
but that's not the lady's husband well who's this guy so I don't know where where do you lean what's Your Gut
00:57:44
Feeling telling you about this case well I want to point out here captain that earlier I was not trying to make a
00:57:50
strong argument for why Mark sers might be innocent by bringing up his mother but I wanted to kind of put you in the
00:57:58
shoe in my shoes where I was trying to figure out where this thing would go because what we're going to have here
00:58:03
and what we're going to see once it finally gets to trial is you're going to have Wayne Wright saying I was hired by
00:58:09
Mark sers to kill his wife you're going to have Mark sers coming forward with the defense saying I had nothing to do
00:58:16
with this Wayne Wright is a crazy bastard and he killed my wife and then later tried to blame it on me mhm so
00:58:22
you're going to have two very conflicting stories and I was wondering where I could find things that would
00:58:28
make me question who was involved and who was not involved and I will state again I do believe that Bonnie sers is a
00:58:36
bit of a loose end for Mark being involved in this now here's the thing what I mean by that is what if these
00:58:43
killers decide to kill your mother that's not who you hired them to kill however if Mark sers is just a
00:58:50
complete horrible dude psychopath guy maybe he doesn't care if his mom happens to get attacked or something happens
00:58:58
during the course of them carrying out this quote unquote Mission the other thing is and you're right they wouldn't
00:59:04
have to necessarily kill Bonnie sers but that's out of your hands once you put them those men inside your home and your
00:59:12
potential mom inside the home at the same time well obviously you're a piece of [ __ ] if you're hiring some guy to
00:59:18
come in kill your wife and she and it's not just your wife it's the mother of your two children well yes obviously
00:59:25
obviously but I still think that the mother is a a bit of a loose end yeah they don't have to kill her her but
00:59:32
guess what the the plan what they were hired to do that's off now you can't bump into Bonnie sers and then later
00:59:39
that night Teresa sers is murdered in her home and that's that's not easy to P piece together right right but I I think
00:59:47
they have more here I mean they were able to uh take death penalty off the table and I don't think law enforcement
00:59:53
or the prosecutor ERS would have done that if if Wayne wasn't able to give them mark on a silver platter and with
01:00:02
this loose evidence that we have that's not enough to arrest Mark so there had to be something else to even just get
01:00:08
that arrest well and then I have to then I have to question Wayne Wright's story
01:00:12
right okay so why would his story be right when when I'm saying that there's this loose end for Mark story so the
01:00:20
loose end for Wayne Wright story is Jimmy Rogers mhm you have this violent guy that you're bringing down there with
01:00:28
you and if the story goes as it goes that that you're hired to commit murder he's there for the sole purpose to make
01:00:35
sure that this murder happened because it appears that if they were hired for murder that Wayne Wright was not
01:00:40
comfortable doing it by himself yeah he might not have thought he could exactly cuz I mean he he's friends with Mark so
01:00:48
he could have been friends with Teresa and why would Wayne Wright be or I'm sorry why would Jimmy Rogers be a loose
01:00:55
end for way well the problem here is if you don't get paid to carry out your task remember they were supposed to get
01:01:01
paid from insurance money insurance money only gets paid upon someone's death so that means that you bring this
01:01:08
guy down there with you you kill somebody and if you're not getting that money from Mark you have no way to pay
01:01:15
Jimmy the hammer Rogers who could in turn later kill you for being upset that he didn't get paid $10,000 for going
01:01:22
down there and helping you so that's the loose for Wayne wri that's the part he's
01:01:26
not going to be able to explain away until you get to this there was $40,000 in a safe in that household that
01:01:35
was it it was not take the for the money was not taken from the home the strange
01:01:40
thing I find about their actions that day was they showed up at the home at 6:00
01:01:45
a.m. they left the home and went to Walmart to purchase what we believe items to kill Teresa sers with and to
01:01:53
clean up with afterwards mhm one of the items that they purchased during that visit was a Lockpick Set why would they
01:02:01
show up why would they need a Lockpick Set when we know that they probably entered through using the code through
01:02:07
the garage door and then entered the home and typed in the security code they don't even need a key to the house let
01:02:13
alone a Lockpick Set to break into the home mhm so then I got to wondering is there a chance that Wayne Wright knew
01:02:20
that they had a safe in the home with $40,000 in it and if he did does he hire this Punk Jimmy Rogers to ride shotgun
01:02:28
with him go down he knows maybe he assumes all four family members are going to be gone until the following day
01:02:34
that he wouldn't encounter anybody would not have to kill anybody that he went down there behind his friend's back just
01:02:40
to steal $40,000 from this house he gets to the house why would they show up to the
01:02:46
house first and then leave and then come back that's strange too it's almost like
01:02:51
okay you know a lot of us know our friends pretty well there's some people that I'm sure go you know what he's told
01:02:58
me time and time again there's $40,000 in this safe and I know he keeps the keys on his desk you show up at 6:00
01:03:04
a.m. you get to the desk there's no keys there now you need a Lockpick Set so I wondered if he went back in one of the
01:03:11
purchases being the lock pick set to pick the lock to the safe to rob the safe and leave there not intending to
01:03:20
kill anybody no they intended to kill people they bought a hammer they bought rubber boots they bought trash bags I
01:03:27
understand I understand I'm just kind of walking through this thing you're sitting landmines along my road here
01:03:33
yeah but they they show back up to the house the Teresa stumbles upon their little breaking and entering situation
01:03:42
they freak out and kill her that could be an argument for Wayne wri there's the another issue here though when when you
01:03:50
start pulling through all these things of why and who could be involved and who could be innocent the other problem is
01:03:56
though why did they have $40,000 in the house to begin with we've heard time and
01:04:01
time again they were living paycheck to paycheck Mark was in charge of the finances it doesn't seem likely to me
01:04:09
that a that a family living paycheck to paycheck would choose to have $40,000 sitting inside their home maybe she
01:04:16
didn't know about the money though that's what I'm getting at and that's what I think Mark's going to have a big
01:04:21
problem explaining when he gets to trial is that why was that $40,000 in the house was that
01:04:28
$40,000 one a a down payment to these guys that are going to show up and kill your wife and B were they supposed to
01:04:36
break into that safe or pick the lock to make it look like it was a burglary that wouldn't be traced back to
01:04:42
Mark or any of his friends exactly and I think you're right on something one thing you're you're incredibly right
01:04:48
about here captain and I and I hope you're right because I share the same suspicion I think we are not hearing
01:04:56
about potentially a mountain of evidence against markers it's going to be so interesting when this thing finally gets
01:05:04
to court what evidence ends up coming out and how much of it is not produced just based off of what Wayne Wright says
01:05:11
right and so somebody is a horrible piece of [ __ ] it's either a group of two or a group of three and hopefully law
01:05:19
enforcement gets to the bottom of this and the real victims other than Teresa for the children cuz they lost not only
01:05:26
their mother but now they lost their father all right I still cannot tell you beautiful people about our announcement
01:05:42
so but we're getting closer yes we are so and we're not doing this just to tease people Captain likes to tease I do
